BitQuest with analog synth

Yesterday, I received my Moog Sub Phatty. Really impressive. That's my first analog synth, I like tweaking those knobs. But I had to plug it onto my pedalboard to see how it behaves with my pedals.

I first set my procession on a full wet setting, it's just find. But thought the BitQuest's reverb could be sweeter. But it isn't. Every other algorithms of the BitQuest work fine but the reverb interacts oddly. It distorts whereas I'm on the clean setting. I use it full wet too but it does the same if I set the knob at noon.

yeah i get some of that. it's off getting etched right now so can't remember if it was because the level on it was high or because there was a strong signal going into it. most probably a strong signal.

Re: BitQuest with analog synth

The Sub Phatty puts out a lot of volume. I don't know why the reverb algorithm would interact oddly while the others don't, but maybe just turn down your volume when using its reverb?

I use the Bitquest with a modular a ton, but I always send it a decently attenuated signal. Not down to guitar levels, but reduced enough that my pedals don't freak out. It's still loud enough that I don't have any noise problems on recordings.
